Thoughts on the name brandy for my DD. I torn between that and Eden!

Brandy sounds like a stripper name to me.
Eden is really lovely though

BrokenBrit · 22/07/2020 17:13

Are you in the U.K.? Not a name I’ve heard here and I used to work in schools so have heard most!
I much prefer Eden.

Stripper

MayDayFightsBack · 22/07/2020 17:14

Awful!

Onthetrain75 · 22/07/2020 17:19

We had a dog called Brandy. He was lovely.

amberph · 22/07/2020 17:19

It's from my (Italian) DH's Grandfather. It was his middle name and his nickname(Brandi) but we changed it to brandy!

Cognac. lol

Brandy is a name associated with certain activities. What you really wanted us to tell you is that Eden is a gorgeous name.

Which it is.

Rudyruby · 22/07/2020 17:20

Stripper or dodgy woman on Housewives of Beverley Hills.

GFqueen · 22/07/2020 17:20

It really is a stripper name. Sorry. But Eden is lovely.

NameChange84 · 22/07/2020 17:20

One of the worst names I’ve ever seen on here and that’s saying something.

Rudyruby · 22/07/2020 17:21

Feel mean now you have explained its lovely history........

Todaywewilldobetter · 22/07/2020 17:22

It's a stripper name. Sorry.

perfumeistooexpensive · 22/07/2020 17:22

Randy Brandy. Poor child would hear this in the school playground every day.

toobusytothink · 22/07/2020 17:24

A dog’s name. Sorry ...

toobusytothink · 22/07/2020 17:24

Eden lovely though 😄

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 22/07/2020 17:25

Eden is a really lovely name.

Go with that.

RatherBeRiding · 22/07/2020 17:26

My horse is called Brandy!

AdaColeman · 22/07/2020 17:27

Not as pretty as Tia Maria or Limoncello!

Evenstar · 22/07/2020 17:28

Definitely a dog or cat name

chunkyrun · 22/07/2020 17:29

Can't believe nobody has suggested the singer!

Twillow · 22/07/2020 17:29

If you're going to use it, use Brandi. But Eden is better.

ApocalypseNowt · 22/07/2020 17:30

I like it. One of my favourite podcast hosts is called Brandy and she has a great laugh Grin

Dooooo it OP!

mrsjg · 22/07/2020 17:30

God no!

iklboo · 22/07/2020 17:32

Not popular or well received in the U.K. (I know, I know) even with the lovely back story. Is there another way you could honour DH's grandfather?

Eden is lovely though.

Bunnymumy · 22/07/2020 17:33

I'm going against the grain here, I love it. For a girl. It's fun. Eden sounds like she would be a bit stuck up.
